PRIVATE PRACTICE - AC24 - Cultivating Leadership: Building a Sustainable Culture for Future Success
Leadership and culture development within a private physical therapy business are paramount to the continuation of the business and to allow a younger group of physical therapists to obtain the skills that were either inherent or developed by the Founder of the organization. As part of our Peer 2 Peer group's commitment to each other, we designed and developed a 12-month curriculum that we have instituted in our business to develop a new generation of leaders. This seminar begins with a discussion about understanding and obtaining an honest look at the individual. This self-reflection helps the young leader understand their strength, their weakness, their professional goals, and personal goals. The second section of this seminar is devoted to understanding what a culture is, how you define it, how you develop it, and ultimately, how to implement a culture across the organization. The final section of this seminar will detail the many different types of Leaders, what are Leadership qualities, provide examples of successful Leaders, and ultimately outline a process that all business owners can use to begin to develop the next generation of level 5 Leadership.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to
1. Evaluate and identify what the organization culture is and determine what we want it to be
2. Demonstrate how to align personal goals professional goals and organizational goals and the Leadership values
3. Identify the current qualities of the Leadership Team and how to improve those skills
4. Identify current employees who will become the Leaders of the future
5. Define a process inside the organization to begin to develop a better leadership team
Russel A. Certo, PT
Russell is a graduate of Quinnipiac University. He began his career working as a Staff Therapist in hospital systems including the University of North Carolina Hospital and Duke University Hospital. In 1988 he opened his own Private Practice in Grand Island NY. His practice had grown and there was a need in community for fitness services and he began to develop the idea of a medically oriented gym. In January of 2005 the first M.O.G. medically oriented gym site was established and began delivering evidenced based fitness programming to not only patients but also to healthy motivated members of the community. Private Practitioners across the country were interested in developing their own M.O.G site. By the end of 2007 the MOG Group, a co-op of M.O.G. sites owned by Independent Physical Therapy Practices, began its mission of providing a central place for these sites to share policies, procedures and business practices.
A recent merger brought the business to 6 clinical sites, 5 school based contracts and 4 medical fitness facilities. As part of his Peer 2 Peer experience Russ along with rich baudry and Dan Bajus created a 12 month curriculum for young PT's to learn and develop Leadership skills.
